My opponent in a tournament game was disqualified due to timeout. In the past opponents in this situation have usually timed out on my game as well. However, with this game, my opponent has played a move after disqualification:

My experience is that the disqualification only takes effect at the end of the round. It doesn’t make any difference during the round. That disqualified person might win against you even though she has lost by timeout against others.

It is usually the case, because that person has abandoned the tournament. But in some cases disqualification is due to an accidental timeout and the player finishes the other games.

So - if you look at the table of the round in progress, the disqualified people and their games are already showing up as all lost.

Doesn’t this mean that the outcomes of those games can’t be affecting the tourney?

Does it mean that the game was terminated at the discretion of the director?

Yes. Tournament directors can manually disqualify someone and this results in the termination of their remaining games.

I can’t see any special rules for this tournament (Like the ‘No Vacation’ in most fast correspondence tournaments) so my guess would be that the director (@SuzieKyu) disqualified Beerkeeper to level the playing field for the remaining players after he/she TO’d the other games. Just guessing.
